My improved grilling or broiling stove includes the spaced, upright, opposed fire-boxes or pots 31 and 38, preferably. adapted to burn coal, coke, or other suitable material or fuel, and which are arranged on opposite sides of the broiling chamher or oven 39, eachof the fire-boxes having an upright grate unit 40 adjacent the chamber 39. Preferably, each of the grate'units40 is composed of three sections 4 I 42 and 43, arranged one upon the other, to facilitate the mounting and removal thereof from the stove interior, and said sec tions are readily removable and may be readily replaced, asworn or damaged, as will be hereinafter described. The sections 4|; ,42 and' 43 of each grate unit 40 are held in an upright ,pos i' tion by the channelled upright guide-ways 44 and 45 formed, respectively, in the rear and frontwalls 2 and I of the stove body, said guide ways being preferably cast integral with said rearand front wall sections to facilitate the manufacture wall element being provided with endflanges 41 and 48 riveted to the front and rear walls I and 2, respectively, the lateral edges of 'said oven top wallterminating within and short of theupper end of the guideways 44 and '45 to provide'the smoke and gas passages 49 and 50 for placingfthe fire-boxes in communication with the flue connection I9. The two opposed uprightplates SI and '52 are removablyarranged in the guideways as and 45 to compose the upper sidewalls of'the oven 39, each of s'aid plates resting upon the upper edge of the top' section 43 of the grate unit. The lower section 4I of each of the grate units 40 restsupon a ledge 53 which is preferablypast n ral Withthe ash-pit unit 20, said ledge registering withthe guideways in which said grate sections 4| are arranged and supported,

The numerals 54 and 55 indicate tiltable grates mounted horizontally adjacent the-lower end of the fire-boxes 31 "and." and within the ash discharge openings 56 and 51, respectively, the latter being in communication with-the ash-pit in which the pan 35 is carried.v Each of the rocking grates, which are similar in construction, has acylin- 'drical bearing shaft at each endv thereof, .as indi:

cated by the'n'umerals 58 .and..59, whichishafts are removably arranged insemhcircular bearing recesses BIland 6|, respectively, (one only being illustrated) to enable ready rocking .rnovement of the grate Fig. 8. Each grate shaft 59 is extended outward through an opening 62 formed, in

the frontwall I. of the stove, said shaft .e'ndbeing squared to enable tool applicationthereto [for rocking said grate. Any suitable stop 'meansmay be incorporated in this grate structure and its bearings to retainthe grates 54 and 55 in a substantially horizontal position, whereby they are tiltable in one direction only, such meansbeing well known in the art and stop lugsuitably located. g v

The grates 54 and 55 arereadily-assembled withinthe fire-boxes through the top openings whichmay comprise'a which are normally'closed by the hinged'co'vers I 5 and I 6, and the worn out grates maybe readily removed through the same openings. Each firebox carries three removable metal liners, viz: side liner 63, and the two end liners 54 and 65, substantially spaced from the stove side walls and all separately introducible through the top openings of the stove which enable the assembly of the grates 54 and 55 within the stove. The lower end of each side liner 63 is arranged in a channel-like recessjfili :of which the flange 25 may form the outer-wall, the upper end of said side liner being maintained in juxtaposition, with the outwardly projecting portion 63' in contact with the side surface of said side liner after the side liners have been mounted in position adjacent the ends of the side liner.

Each-bithe end liners 64 and 65 for the fireboxes extends downward substantially to the fireboxbottorn and the lower end of each of said liners is provided-with a semi-circular bearing recess 68 which engages about and above the grate shafts 58 and 59 to maintain. the juxtaposition of the latterf" Figures Band 9 illustrate one such bearing structure for the grate shafts 58 and 59, it beingf understood that the general structure is the same for'both of said shafts.

"'Ihesto've front wall I isprovided with an upright'relatively narrowope'n'ing' 69' which is normally closed by'a door 10, the latter being hinged to the wall I at II and I2, said door being providedf'with an opening 13 and a handle I4, said "opening I3 remaining open permanently.

"A swinging latch 15 hinged to the front wall I maybe incorporated'to holdthe door 10 in the the. top"46 by the cooperating spaced L shaped ledges .I 8 ahd1 9 which are preferably cast inte gral withthe oven top 46. The guideway '11 extends at substantially right angles to the front wall I and is substantially coextensive with the length of the oven top 46 the outer end thereof ing;jopen to enable the'assembly of the bar I6 therein; H r

' The carrier bar I6 has a transverse stop bar 80 secured thereto on the under side thereof by a fastener stud orpin 8|, which stud effects a spaced relation between the stop bar 80 and the main bar 16 to enable the former to be arranged belowtheledges I8 and I9, and whereby the stud 8 is movably' arranged between said ledges. A pair'of meatracksupporting hooks 82 and 83 may be connected with the bar 16 to depend therefr'onL'the shankof each of said hooks being movable within theslot or interstice between the ledges 'IBand'IS."

The numeral 84indicates a wire meatrack unit adapted to have the steaks or chops clamped therein and which is adapted to be removably suspended" on the hooks 82 and 83 for supporting saidrneat rack and contents in an upright position in thechamber or oven 39 substantially midway between the fire pots 31 and 38. The rack 84' maybe of, any suitable form, but, as illustrated, it is the'well known two part device hinged together at the outer end provided with a long the chamber or oven 39 and suspended from the hooks 82 and 83, as described, the rack handle 85' first drawn outward through the opening 69 to' advantageously locate said hooks. In this operation of the bar T6 the stop bar 89 will engage the wall l and limit the outward movement of said bar, the inward movement of said bar being limited by its end engagement with the rear Wall 2. When the meat, is properly cooked the operator opens the door It, grasps the rack handle 85 and pulls the rack 84 outward through the door opening 69, in which position of the elements the rack is or may be removed from the hooks 82 and 83 and the cooked meat taken from the rack.
